St.-Etienne-des-Gres, Mauricie, Quebec. C. 1960. Pierre Corriveau folk art sculpture of a crouching cat in white paint with black spots. Corriveau used scrap wood and metal in most of his work, with branches from sapling trees for legs and folded and shaped tin (from cans etc.) for the ears of animals and the wings of birds. He preferred marbles for the eyes of many of his animals and birds. Corriveau was the cover artist of ‘Les Patenteux du Quebec’ (the "Bible" of Quebec folk art) and there is an extensive article about him and his work in the book. His works are all unsigned.

Good condition.

Softwood, tin, glass eyes.
